Thanks....it is correct. Maybe not "best". But he didn't ask for best. He asked for "deepest". Haha.

Depending on the body of water.... EM 10-12 flouro; Fork 15-17 flouro

Invisx 12lb

Depends on lure for me.....and what I feel most comfortable with using depending on weight of lure.

10-12# Red Label for DD-22's/6XD's
15# Red Label for 8 & 10XD's

12lb invizx to out fish the guys throwing braid lol.

This for me except for baits over 1 Oz then I'll move up to 15lb I keep 2 rods set up with 12lb and 1 with 15lb at all times.

exactly. Lol.

I guess one person throwing braid out of all that answered..makes a lot more sense now

Ok then to clear things up, the title of this post is "Best line for deep diving crank baits". Most would probably would agree that 10-15 pound test fluorocarbon would be "best".

His question was what line would get the crank bait the deepest. 20# braid is smaller in diameter than 12# test fluorocarbon so it would allow your crank bait to get deeper, just depends on what he wants, the "best" or the "deepest".

Best deepest,,10-12# fluorocarbon.

Lets ask KVD, I'm sure he knows more than most people on this forum.

Probably doesn't get as deep as fluoro, but for $7 you can get almost a lifetime supply of 12lb big game.

I know Mike Kernan uses braid on some of his deep cranking. He's done well deep cranking.

12-16lb sunline reaction floro or 12-15lb invisix

Suffix deep cranking line was real good but they don't make it anymore

I like 12# McCoys Mean Green or 10# on open lakes. 17# for Fork or other timber lakes. Hope this helps. Tight lines, keep safe and good luck.
